    Would you get an adjustable track bar with a 2.5” lift?

    Does it bother your OCD that you wrote "CDO"?

    Anyone take advantage of Rancho’s 90-day risk free offer?

    The problem with cable/sat tv is that the longer your a customer, the more expensive it gets...how about trying to retain current customers.

    Anyone take advantage of Rancho’s 90-day risk free offer?

    Thanks for the info. I'll call back and confirm the email they gave me. The email address you used has way more promising results when put into the Google machine...but both point to Monroe.

    Anyone take advantage of Rancho’s 90-day risk free offer?

    Yea, that's the number I called. Did they take care of it when you called or give you an email address? I'll probably call back and talk to someone else.

    Anyone take advantage of Rancho’s 90-day risk free offer?

    It's supposed to be a refund of the purchase price up to MSRP and $50 per axle installation cost. I didn't pay for the install so I'm not trying to get reimbursed for that. I had the exact same thought on weeding out customers...I'm persistent though.

    Anyone take advantage of Rancho’s 90-day risk free offer?

    I am trying to return some shocks using Rancho's 90 day free ride offer but I am having trouble getting info on how. I called Rancho's tech line, as that is the only number on their website, and asked about how to return the shocks but the guy seemed confused as to what I was referring to. After...

    Vibrations after 2” lift installation

    Because it is just for troubleshooting purposes, I would use 1/2" - 1" worth of washers or nuts as a spacer (make sure bolts are long enough) and drive it around the block. If the vibes are gone then do proper spacers or a MML.

    Vibrations after 2” lift installation

    Yea, I agree. No reason to spend the money unless its going to fix the issue.

    Vibrations after 2” lift installation

    Nope. it should be a very easy straight forward MML install. If there is no fan on the front of the engine, nothing will need to be done. You may want to consider temporarily putting spacers to drop the transfer case just because its easy and it will tell you for sure if that is the reason for...

    Vibrations after 2” lift installation

    By lifting the engine you are changing the angle of the slip joint at the transfer case which decreases the rear driveshaft angle. For a 2" lift this should be all you need to remove the vibes. The only drawback, if you want to call it that, is you need to modify the fan shroud (raise it) so the...

    What else will I need for a 2.5" lift?

    Update for anyone that may care. I swapped out the 0-2 inch Ranchos and put in the 2.5 Ranchos and they are now just about mid stroke...it's almost like they were made for a 2.5-3 inch lift.

    Cost and quality efficient Jeep build for hard working high school noob

    In case you haven't considered 33x10.5-15 tires, they are also an option. The narrower footprint will handle better on the road and there is no need to replace the wheels...unless you want to.

    How illegal is your Jeep?

    China made headlights off Amazon that are so called "DOT Approved". Not fully legal but man were they an upgrade. Work great and not too pricy. Way safer that stock.

    Is this TJ with frame rust worth buying?

    "what are the zip ties on the frame?" That's what's holding the body on.

    What else will I need for a 2.5" lift?

    I based my lift off of Codaman's recipe for an affordable lift, combined with lessons from other posters. I have never done a lift before but the TJs suspension is quite simple and easy to lift...up to a couple inches. If you go over about a 2.5 inch lift it seems there is progressively more...
